Mint Condition's R&B boasts old-school heart with a contemporary finish. The act exemplify diversity, savvily shading their ballads with jazz, funk and even rock touches. The 1991 gem “Breakin' My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)” intertwines Stokley Williams' smooth yet strapping tenor with classic horns and sparkling keys. “What Kind of Man Would I Be” begins as a sensuous glow before erupting into pleading cries and searing guitar. The release of 1999's Life's Aquarium signalled the group's embrace of neo-soul, with cuts like “If You Love Me” swathed in '70s synths and velvety strings.
